PurposeTo systematically synthesize the effect of music interventions applied to patients with hematological cancer on fatigue.MethodsThe searches were conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost/CINAHL Complete, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Ovid, ProQuest, and Springer Link databases until August 2021 without any year limitation. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3 software was used in the analysis of meta-analysis data. The meta-analysis was carried out following the PRISMA checklist. Risks of bias were examined by two independent researchers using the Cochrane Collaboration tool.ResultsSix randomized controlled trials consisting of 279 participants were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The count of music interventions in the included studies ranged between 1 and 8 sessions, each of which was 20 to 45 min long. The music interventions applied to patients with hematological cancers were found to be effective in reducing the severity of fatigue (95% Cl= 0.10~0.57; Hedge’s g=0.03; p=0.006).ConclusionsThe findings of the meta-analysis indicated that music interventions made important and positive contributions to reducing fatigue in patients with hematological cancer. Music interventions are a convenient method to reduce fatigue because they are comfortable and noninvasive. It will be beneficial to increase the awareness of nurses about the implementation of music interventions. It is recommended that music interventions applied to patients with a diagnosis of hematological cancer should be considered interventions that can be used together with other non-pharmacological or pharmacological methods to reduce fatigue. |
